Perry French Egyptian-Syrian Campaign Infantry

Finished up the Perry French Egyptian Campaign foot. 2nd Light in green coats; 22nd Light in sky blue coats, 25th Line in "dusty" pink coats, 88th Line in purple coats, 9th Line grenadiers in red coats and Dromedaries in light blue dolmans.

The units are in multiples of 6, with the intention of using Rebels and Patriots. Mainly wanted to paint the various coats colors without building large forces. I may add some cavalry to the French - hussars or chasseurs.
The Ottomans are next in the paint queue, but still researching their "uniforms".
Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all the best.

    Your early French are terrific,Dean! I was am pleased to see that you fielded units in a variety of these colorful uniforms.

    Very nice indeed Dean....the Republican period has always tempted me, with the Mirlton caps and geometric flag designs....but do I need another large project when I already have cupboards full of unused armies? Scaling it down to a skirmish type level is a good compromise, and, incidentally, a clue to why games like Sharpe Practice, Bolt Action et al are so popular nowadays !

      Thank you very much, Keith. Yes, this is definitely a small scale (minimal figures) venture. Just a nice way to paint up a few colorful uniforms. Warmest regards, Dean

    They are looking very dashing. I think I might need to read up on Bonapart's adventures in the middle East.

      Thanks for the kind words. The Egyptian "adventure" might have been more to do with getting Bonaparte out of France than a conquest. Warmest regards, Dean

    I love them. You are making it very hard to resist temptation Dean! I'm off to have a cold shower and engage in diversion activities.

    Wonderful stuff, great to see the tunic mix given the supply issues in Egypt. Cheers Stu
